Brymazz1, I'm similar to your story and I called our one and only local internet provider and they said it would be $21,000 to run the fiber another mile and a quarter to my house, so I'm stuck with a unreliable service. There is only a few houses between me and that one, so even if all 3 signed up it would be over $5000 each and that won't be happening obviously. Did you end up going to T1? I was recommended the same thing from my provider, and they were saying to bond two T1 lines together so they total 3 mbps. The problem for me is a scenario that can take place is that my son and I each are on Destiny, then my daughter is on Netflix watching shows (non-hd) and my wife is on facebook probably (I'm not sure if that's all exactly right, but close enough example to see how the data can be used quickly). I'd sign up if I knew there was a gamer able to use a single T1 and they said it worked fine or anyone that had T1 that used it for video and gaming, but I've found it hard to find any info on T1 users. Supposedly the T1 has a great ping rate and is a guaranteed constant 3mbps up and down feed, so maybe as long as my home network is good and not choking the signal in any way, that would be enough to skim by.

If you have money to burn... Sure. Just know that 1.5mbps is barely fast enough to stream 1080p video.

200$ a month for 1.54mbps? That's insane. I get 105mbps down 25 up for not even half that. Think you should check around more.

I'm running 2mbs,you shouldn't have too many issues although downloads will take forever.
